MH_PROFILE(5MH)         COMMAND REFERENCE         MH_PROFILE(5MH)



NAME
     mh_profile - user parameters for MH message handler

DESCRIPTION
     Each user of mh is expected to have a file named .mhprofile
     in his or her home directory.  This file contains a set of
     user parameters used by some or all of the mh family of
     programs.  Each line of the file is of the format

     profile-component: value

     The currently defined profile components are exemplified
     below:

     Path: Mail          Locates mh transactions in directory
                         "Mail".

     Current-Folder: inbox
                         Keeps track of currently open folder.

     Editor: prompter    Defines editor to be used by comp(1mh),
                         repl(1mh), and forw(1mh).

     Msg-Protect: 644    Defines octal protection bits for
                         message files.  See chmod(1) for an
                         explanation of the octal number.

     Folder-Protect: 711 Defines protection bits for folder
                         directories.

     program: default switches
                         Sets default switches to be used
                         whenever the mh program program is
                         invoked.  For example, one could
                         override the Editor:profile component
                         when replying to messages by adding a
                         component such as:
                              repl: -editor prompter

     cur-read-onlyfolder: 172
                         Keeps track of the last message seen in
                         the specified read-only folder.  In
                         folders to which write access is
                         permitted, the current-message value is
                         kept in a file called cur within that
                         folder.

     prompter-next: ed   Names the editor to be used on exit from
                         prompter(1mh)

     The following profile elements are used whenever an mh
     program invokes some other program such as refile(1mh) or

     ls(1). The mhprofile can be used to select alternate
     versions of these programs if the user wishes.  The default
     values are given in the examples.

          fileproc:  /usr/tek/refile
          installproc:  /usr/lib/tek/mh/install-mh
          lproc:  /usr/ucb/more
          lsproc:  ls
          mailproc:  /usr/tek/mail
          prproc:  /bin/pr
          scanproc:  /usr/tek/scan
          sendproc:  /usr/tek/send
          showproc:  /usr/ucb/more
          delete-prog:  /bin/rm

     Normally, rmm(1mh), rather than removing a message in file X
     will rename the file to ,X.  If a user provides a delete-
     prog profile entry, the specified program will be used to
     remove the file.
